General Applications of Granular Copper (CU12HP, CU23HP, CU35HP)
1. Metallurgical Applications
- Copper Alloy Production: Used as a raw material in foundries to produce brass, bronze,
and other copper alloys. - Sintering and Powder Metallurgy: May be compacted and sintered into components or used in combination with other metal powders.
2. Electrical and Electronic Uses
- Conductive Fillers: Ideal for conductive adhesives, shielding paints, or pastes in
electronics (though usually smaller particles are preferred, this size can be used in some
high-current applications). - Grounding Media: Used in earthing and lightning protection systems—especially when
packed into grounding rods or trenches.
3. Environmental and Catalytic Applications
- Water Filtration Media: Copper is antimicrobial; can be used in filters (especially for
algae and bacteria control in ponds, aquariums, or HVAC systems). - Catalyst for Chemical Reactions: Some processes (like hydrogenation) use copper
particles as a catalyst or catalyst support.
4. Industrial and Manufacturing
- Metal Injection Molding Feedstock: Can be mixed with binder systems for near-net
shape forming. - Additive for Friction Materials: In brake pads and clutch linings to improve thermal
conductivity and wear resistance. - Surface Coating or Cold-Casting Additive: Blend into resins for a metallic appearance
or to make cold-cast copper sculptures or decorative items.
5. Artistic and Decorative
- Art and Craft Supplies: As an inclusion in epoxy, resin art, or sculpture.
- Cold Cast Metal Resin Kits: Great for DIY metallic art pieces—useful for your business
if you supply kits or resin materials.
6. Laboratory and Educational
- Chemistry Demonstrations: For displacement reactions, redox chemistry, or
electroplating experiments. - Electrochemical Experiments: As a compact, high-surface-area source of copper for
electrolysis or electrode making.
7. Fireworks and Pyrotechnics
- Colorant and Fuel Component: Copper compounds are often used for blue flames, and
some pyrotechnic compositions may accept metallic copper for spark effects or heat
generation.
